He’s rarely rattled on the hill and has matured in a short time as a pitcher, displaying more advanced command for someone his age. Where Malone earns high marks is with his poise and polish.

It could tick up a few MPH in the pros and remain effective, but if it sticks as a low-80s pitch, expect that to be his go-to offering. It’s a low-80s pitch that features good tilt and late biting action to get swinging strikes. He pairs the fastball with one of the best sliders in class. He’s good at working low in the strike zone with it, inducing weak contact - a hallmark for Dodger starting pitchers.
